00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:04,000
- [Instructor] Greetings, and welcome to Unity-certified

2
00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:07,002
Associate Materials and Lighting.

3
00:00:07,002 --> 00:00:10,002
In this course, we'll explore the fundamentals

4
00:00:10,002 --> 00:00:13,006
of lighting, rendering, and post-processing

5
00:00:13,006 --> 00:00:17,006
inside Unity for creating games, simulations

6
00:00:17,006 --> 00:00:20,001
and other interactive content.

7
00:00:20,001 --> 00:00:23,007
My name is Alan Thorn, and I'll be your instructor

8
00:00:23,007 --> 00:00:27,008
as we move and explore Unity's amazing feature set.

9
00:00:27,008 --> 00:00:29,007
We'll see how to create materials,

10
00:00:29,007 --> 00:00:34,004
how to work with Unity's three major render pipelines,

11
00:00:34,004 --> 00:00:38,006
how to import and configure textures like normal maps,

12
00:00:38,006 --> 00:00:41,000
how to work with lights and shadows,

13
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:43,009
and how to create post-processing effects

14
00:00:43,009 --> 00:00:47,006
to enhance the visual appeal of your scenes.

15
00:00:47,006 --> 00:00:50,005
This course also explores key concepts

16
00:00:50,005 --> 00:00:53,002
in lighting and optimization,

17
00:00:53,002 --> 00:00:57,000
such as global illumination, and how both light mapping

18
00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:01,007
and light probes can help you get amazing results.

19
00:01:01,007 --> 00:01:03,007
By the end of this course,

20
00:01:03,007 --> 00:01:06,005
you'll have established a solid foundation

21
00:01:06,005 --> 00:01:08,006
for creating interesting lighting

22
00:01:08,006 --> 00:01:11,009
and material setups inside Unity.

23
00:01:11,009 --> 00:01:13,002
So let's get started.
